NOTES: This drawing was copied from a design for a silver table centre by William Kent and was probably made in preparation for John Vardy's publication entitled 'Some designs of Mr Inigo Jones and Mr William Kent' (London, 1744), although the published plate differs from the drawing shown here in several details.
